I have also added photos of my soon to arrive in the US, Bianchi Paris-Roubaix Bike. You can check the photos out here: http://www.wooljersey.com/gallery/Bianchi-Paris-Roubaix

If anybody wants a complex shift, try shifting the front derailleur on this bike! It has a Campagnolo Sport front 'suicide' shifter that combines with the Paris-Roubaix rear derailleur. To shift from one to the other chainring, you must first loosen off the rear hub with the rear derailleur lever, then slowly pedal forwards and shift the front derailleur. You cannot however apply too much pressure, at the risk of pulling the wheel out of the rear drop-outs. Supposedly, the bike belonged to the former Bianchi pro: Crippa, however, I have my doubts about this claim.
